On the Internet.
Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, and Wei.
“Oh my God!”
“Amazing!”
“It’s so beautiful!”
“I love this book. I love this book!”
"The brave Harry Potter, the cute Ron, and the elementary school bully Hermione are so enviable!"
"Hahahaha, you bunch of muggles!"
"I'm so envious of the students who can study in a magic school. Please send me to Gryffindor by the Sorting Hat!"
“What a wonderful imagination!”
"Ghosts floating around in the academy, moving portraits and staircases, how can this magical world be so real!"
"I thought it was a fairy tale like Once Upon a Time..."
"I didn't expect that this book, which is clearly labeled as children's literature, would be so enjoyable for a high school student like me."
"You can fly to the sky on a broomstick!"
"This is the real magical world!"
"Compared with this, the previous fantasy works on Blue Star that involved magical elements are more than a level lower!"
"I sold it to my child, but I became obsessed with it myself!"
"My daughter loves reading it. Just now, I asked her to put the book down and do her homework, and she called me a Muggle. I only found out what Muggle meant after I flipped through the book. It made me laugh to death."
“What a pleasant surprise!”
“The development and presentation of the overall setting are exciting!”
"The description of Voldemort is quite scary, but there are many cute points that are too touching, such as the owl that delivered the letter. The old thief deliberately avoided the pigeon (side-eyed smile)"
…
It was released in the morning.
The total content of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is just over 200,000 words, which is enough for many people to finish reading in one morning.
For Ye Cong's son and daughter...
For the countless readers on Blue Star who are encountering this work for the first time...
The magical world is so exciting!
First glimpse of The Witcher from Platform Nine and Three Quarters;
The magical Sorting Hat;
Gryffindor and other four major colleges;
And then there is the imaginative Quidditch.
On the bustling wizard streets; in the gorgeous magic academy.
Owls seem to be everywhere, and there is a dark and hazy mysterious forbidden forest.
And so on and so forth.
A subversive and wonderful explosion occurred!
It’s like the door to a new world has been opened!
…
Zhongzhou.
The number of readers who buy Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone here is much less than that in the other seven continents, but there are still quite a few people.
at this time.
A forum in Zhongzhou.
The discussion about Harry Potter has already begun to explode, and almost everyone who has finished watching it or is close to finishing it is extremely excited!
"Have you seen Chu Kuang's?"
“I saw it!”
"How about it?"
"It's so beautiful!"
"Is this the level of Blue Star's top writers? No wonder he is ranked 13th on Blue Star!"
“Stunning!”
"What the hell is this called children's literature?"
"I couldn't resist the charm of this work even when I was 19 years old. I watched it with my 9-year-old cousin and we were mesmerized!"
"Real! Fantastic! Gorgeous magical world!"
"Wizards are divided into pure-blood and half-blood. Look how proud Malfoy is of himself."
"I feel sorry for Hermione. Why are wizards born of Muggles called Mudbloods?"
"The names of the various terms in this book are really interesting, such as the Quidditch game and the Golden Snitch. It feels like a novel variation of handball, dodgeball and a little hockey."
"Teacher Chu Kuang is so strong!"
"I've fallen in love with this Chu Kuang. This is the first time I like a foreign writer so much!"
“World-class children’s literature!”
"This is a complete epic fantasy. The category of children's literature is too limited!"
Appealing to both the elite and the masses.
Suitable for all ages.
Many world-class works have such characteristics.
In fact, there are still countless controversies about whether "Harry Potter" belongs to children's literature.
Because obviously:
The audience of this series of works includes a large number of adults.
The local customs and world structure in the book are so mature that they don't seem to be for children.
The story itself does have some fairy tale elements.
Like weird-flavored candy that tastes like snot
For example, the three children from Gryffindor can always defeat the powerful Voldemort.
…
Also on this forum.
Many people haven’t seen this movie;
Or maybe because I am not familiar with Chu Kuang;
Or maybe netizens in Central China who were not interested in children's literature were attracted to it at this time.
“So many people praising you?”
"It looks very nice."
"Listening to their description, it seems very interesting."
"I'll buy one too."
"Upstairs plus one."
"After all, he is the top writer ranked 13th on Blue Star, so his level should be quite good."
"I'll go buy it right now. There happens to be a bookstore downstairs."
"I didn't have much interest in it before because it was children's literature. I don't have any children at home, but it seems that a lot of adults are reading it too."
"Yes."
"I just read the discussions in other continents. They gave it rave reviews and praised it very highly!"
“Go, go, go!”
“I’m going to buy some books!”
The process of word-of-mouth fermentation is that simple.
When all the people who have seen it praise it highly, even the passers-by who are not interested will be aroused by their curiosity.
…
afternoon.
All major bookstores in Zhongzhou.
The number of customers has increased significantly.
As soon as these people come in, they all ask to buy "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"!
The waiters were confused.
Why does it feel like sales in the afternoon are much higher than in the morning
Faintly.
Someone seemed to have a premonition of something.
However, the heads of major bookstores reacted faster.
Discussions within certain bookseller industry groups.
“It’s a bit weird!”
"Isn't the reputation of this film a bit too high?"
“Have you read the comments online, too?”
“I saw it!”
“The whole network praised it!”
“Most people who have seen it are applauding!”
"The speed at which word of mouth has exploded is too outrageous."
"This Chu Kuang is quite strong. Fortunately, I bought enough goods."
“Haha, I got a lot of points too.”
"A world-class writer."
"No matter how much you import, it's not as much as other continents. The amount you import is too outrageous."
"etc."
"Something."
When it was night time.
A bookstore manager put down his phone and looked at the manager who ran to his office breathlessly:
"What are you in such a hurry for?"
“Huo…Huo…Huo…”
"What about singing?"
"The supply of Chu Kuang's new book is almost unbearable!"
"Let someone move it to the warehouse."
"I just mean the warehouse, there's not much stock left!"
"That's impossible. I got eight million copies, and that's according to the S-level standard!"
"It's really not enough. It might be sold out tonight. More and more customers are buying this book!"
The person in charge's face suddenly changed!
The small management’s words came true!
That evening.
The major bookstores in Zhongzhou were shocked to find that:
The quantity they arranged to purchase according to the standards for world-class writers was not enough!
sold out!
sold out!
sold out!
"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" has been sold out in major local bookstores in Middle-Continent!
Harry Potter!
Showing your prowess for the first time!
